I was hoping to have the inside painted today, but it looks like it's not going to happen until maybe tomorrow if we work Sunday or Monday. I was in Panama again yesterday, and the guys thought it would be funny to make the fairing compound pink.
It's getting much closer to paint though, should have all the fairing done today. Here's a little trick I'm sure somebody can use. When fairing round things like our hatches, we take a hole saw and cut out pieces of wood at whatever diameter we need, then drill a hole in the middle and put a carriage bolt through it and contact cement on sandpaper. Check out the pics:
And then it's funny, you can tell the mold was a male mold, because there is almost no fairing on the inside walls
